And how can that kind of cue be sold,
"Taking a cue" used to be an expression that had nothing to do with a billiards cue.
Ill never be your pizza burning
Not sold, stole.
Thought steal my daddy’s cue, meant imitate him.
Imitate him making a living playing fool.
Stewart’s best song: “( I Know ) I’m Losing You”
First time I heard Zevon’s Werewolves of London, I (mis)heard the lyrics as, “I’d like to meet Liz Taylor.”
"She's got it,
Yeah baby,she's got it.
I'm your Venus,
I'm your fire at your desire."
I always head that last line as "I'm your fire at Jordan, Sire."
I have to remember, The Beatles weren’t the only rock group using uncommon instruments at that time. G. Harrison had his Sitar, but Ron Wood had his Mandolin. They also learned from each other.
Donovan taught J. Lennon a guitar finger picking technique later used on Dear Prudence and a few other White Album songs.

John Entwistle played French Horn on a lot of Who songs.
My favorite Rod Stewart song.

Apeman (Kinks from Lola)
“I look out my window, but I can’t see the sky
‘Cos the air pollution is foggin’ up my eyes”
I’ve listened to this since I bought the LP when it first came out & I’m still not convinced he is saying “foggin’”.
She’s as sweet as “triple O” honey.
I thought it was “playing the fool.”
In the summer of 1966, Ron Nasty was widely quoted by saying that the Rutles were bigger than God. He went on to say that God had never gotten a hit record.
In response to this, many fans burnt their albums, many more burnt their fingers trying to burn their albums. Album sales skyrocketed, as people began to buy the albums, simply to burn them.
It would later turn out that it was all a great misunderstanding. Nasty, whilst talking to a slightly deaf journalist, stated that the Rutles were bigger than Rod Stewart, who would not be big for another eight years.
In an interview on the subject, Ron stated that this proved that “[we’re] all daft— I’ll probably get in trouble for that now.” Nasty apologised to God and Rod for these statements.
